Dr Kevin Cunningham

I work on elections, public opinion and the methods used to measure them – survey design, weighting, forecasting, and turning polling data into something people can use.

I lecture in politics at TU Dublin and run Ireland Thinks, a polling and research company. Before that I led targeting and analysis for the Labour Party in the UK.
